Union Sues Northwest Louisiana School System Over ‘Heroes’ Stipend April 8, 2021
A teachers union has sued a northwest Louisiana school system, saying a $1,000 bonus discriminates against women, older workers and disabled people.
The Caddo Parish School Board approved the “Caddo Heroes Stipend Allocation” for full-time employees who were present for at least 90% of their scheduled workdays during the 2020-21 school year.
Red River United, a local of the American Federation of Teachers, filed the lawsuit on April 5 and announced it at a news conference the same day, news outlets reported.
“This year has been grueling and every employee who has shown up for our students is a hero. That doesn’t change just because someone had to take time off to have a baby, or went in for emergency surgery,” union president Jackie Lansdale said, according to KSLA-TV.
